Update:
(Boise, ID) — Former Smash Mouth frontman and cofounder Steve Harwell is dead at the age of 56. Band manager Robert Hayes told “Rolling Stone” that the “All Star” singer had been in hospice care suffering the final stages of liver failure brought on by a lifetime of alcohol abuse. Harwell had been dealing with health issues for some time, including heart failure and neurological issues that affect his speech and memory. Harwell retired from Smash Mouth in 2021, replaced by new lead vocalist Zach Goode. Hayes said Harwell died at his home in Boise, Idaho “surrounded by family and friends.”
